Jacksonville Divorce and Child Custody Attorneys
For highly personalized and attentive client service in a divorce case or any other family law problem, contact a lawyer at Makofka & Makofka in Jacksonville. We're a family ourselves, and we understand what's at stake in your case. Our lawyers can help you identify the practical and legal problems that your divorce case will involve. At the same time, we can advise you as to your rights and responsibilities with respect to every issue that your case will present.
Our practical and flexible approach to the resolution of property division, custody, alimony, child support, parenting time, and the other problems that most divorcing couples must resolve can help you achieve your objectives while keeping the stress and expense of your divorce down to a reasonable level.
While most contested issues in a divorce are settled between the spouses without the need for a court hearing, we also recognize that some issues cannot be settled and must be presented to a judge for resolution. When any problem in your divorce appears headed for court, you can depend on us to present your case in the most persuasive terms possible, with the full support of the facts and legal authorities that favor your position.
Many contested issues in Florida divorce cases, especially those involving children, must be submitted to mediation before the court will hear a motion on the dispute. Our preparation for your mediation session will allow you to negotiate from a position of strength based on a solid understanding of the legal rights that apply to your core objectives.
Jacksonville divorce attorney Lester Makofka has also achieved impressive results for clients in appeals of Family Court decisions. If you think that the judge ruled against you in error, or if you need to defend a divorce decree that your former spouse is appealing, his understanding of Florida family law and the demands of the appellate process can help you protect your interests on appeal.
Our divorce lawyers can advise you on all issues from interim support arrangements during a period of separation to modification of child custody or support arrangements after the divorce decree. For further information, contact us in Jacksonville.
